1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder

[William Yunck]

2009 Scottsdale Auction Result Highlights:

The 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider was the star of the VanKregten Estate, and arguably the week. The Italian sports car is one of only 54 Short Wheelbase examples and one of only a handful of cars fitted with the coveted covered headlights from the factory. More than 20 vehicles from the VanKregten Estate crossed the auction block and were sold without reserve.
This V12 four speed manual Sold for $4,950,000.

I'll look into it. Unless someone is lying, that should be true.

The $28.5 million 250 GTO.
